Victoria 1837 coin / token? "To Hanover"

[thedigger]

Sorry Mods, i was unsure where to put this one as i dont know if its a coin or token?

It Has Victoria on front (worn) and a hole at the top brassy colouring.

Back has "TO HANOVER" at top

Man on horse going over what looks likes a dragon of sorts and the date underneath 1837?

Its puzzled me.....which isnt hard

Because of the damge shown in photos and the general condition of this is there any value to this coin?

thank you.

To save me the bother of writing it out, I quickly Googled 'To Hanover' and the answer is here: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Coin-Collecting.../coins-1839.htm. Common and never worth much, the damage renders it nigh on unsaleable, but the historical background to this counter is quite fascinating.

or my page on them

Hanover Tokens

I have got a catalogue for these tokens, but there is very little information on rarity etc, but they can be picked up relatively cheap. Without the token in hand it would be impossible to give you a die combination because the varieties are generally identified by measurements in legends etc.

Thanks Red,

I ask all these questions on here and never think to google them... er probably me just being lazy?

Yes i see what you mean went on a well known auction site, sure enough they had one the same year BUT in ten times better condition than mine, and they only wanted £0.99p

My scrap pile is getting sooo big now that if any forum member wants any of the coins that are GENUINLY of no resaleable value but just to add them to their own collection for whatever reason? just tell me ..You can have them for the postage

Appologies for the above quote i did try to edit it before it went on upload but it froze.

What i meant to say was..."If the coin isnt worth more than a £1.00, im not going to loose sleep over it, if for whatever reason it will enhance someone elses collection then they can have it for the postage, or if they are lucky enough to have a buyer for it ..good luck to them"

Oh dear digger, you are about to fall victim to my infinite pedantry, but you wouldn't believe how irritated I've begun to get by the epidemic all over the internet, of people who can't spell "lose" !!

sleep and the patience of a good woman are what you LOSE

teeth and some women become LOOSE

Do forgive me, I've become a one-man quest to eradicate this blip before it finds its way into the official dictionaries.
